Let's Get Ready to Ruuuuumble......


Fight night

In this corner, weighing in at 29 pounds and wearing white is Megan "Bring the Pain" Collings. And in this corner in red pants, weighing in at 32 pounds is Jake "The deflector" Collings.

Last night (and of course, it was right before bed), Jake stood up and said, "Megan, let's fight". Actually, it's more like, "wet's fight"....but you get the point. This is not your traditional boxing match. They use all forms of sneak attack moves.

They fight for a few minutes and then someone gets slightly hurt. They take a break for a moment and then get right back at it.

They're pretty evenly matched. Megan obviously has more coordination, but Jake has brut strength and a bit of a mean streak.

Since Megan has a little more endurance, once she starts to dominate, Jake goes limp and lays on the floor and says, "I too tired". Then, she gives him some room and he gets right back up and stirs it up again.

Here's the kicker. I'm trying to get them settled down so they can go to bed and heard Darin teaching Megan some "moves". When I saw them he was teaching her how to interlock fingers and bend someones hands backwards. Previously, he taught her a headlock. Wtf?!! He followed it up with, "Don't use that on your brother". Hmmm. I think it's a little too late for that.
